Tomato is generally accepted as a nutritionally desirable food article. Normal processing does not seem to adversely affect its nutritive value particularly its vitamin C content.

Since tomato is a fruit of good nutritive value, specially with regard to vitamins, and is easily available, its inclusion in the daily diet, particularly of young, growing children is very desirable and should be encouraged. (Reference : Fruits, NIN, ICMR).
